The
Metropolitan developed around the Jaxton Jackets near the top, with the
Crestfield Spartans and the St. Cruz Makos remaining steady enough to
stay in the conversation. The Cosmopolitan moved mostly through the
Roxford Rangers, though the Market City Tritons and the Oakdale
Nightbirds kept the top of the standings within reach. The playoff
field changed behind the Oakdale Nightbirds, who stacked road wins over
the Market City Tritons and the Roxford Rangers to reach the title
game. The Metro Bowl concluded with the St. Cruz Makos defeating the
Oakdale Nightbirds, giving the franchise its first league championship.
